D-Brane

Particles, Superstrings, and D-Branes.- Solitons and Particle Physics.- Dimensions of Solitons, Dimensions of Superstring Theory.- D-Branes.- Dynamics of D-Branes.- Braneworld (Application 1).- Inflationary Cosmology in Higher Dimensions (Application 2).- Entropy of Blackholes (Application 3).- Holgraphy and QCD (Application 4).- Toward Description of Ultimate Theory.

From the reviews:"The book is written for undergraduates as well as for graduate students. Hashimoto minimizes the assumed knowledge of the reader and provides a short path to the frontier research results. After a brief explanation of general string theory the main covered topics are: (1) the general braneworld scenario, (2) black hole production in experiment, (3) braneworld cosmology and inflation, (4) counting states of black holes using superstring theory, (5) AdS/CFT correspondence."

From the reviews:

"The book is a masterpiece on the understanding of D-Branes in String Theory. The book is very well written and the organization is perfect! If you are interested in to learn D-branes ... this is the right book for you. ... And also the end of the book presents some speculations how the branes can or could be used to establish a unification theory of the physical reality and this part is indeed amazing I recommend you check this book."

"This is a very commendable book indeed. It is, in my opinion, an excellent introduction to the subject of D-branes. ... I do recommend this book for all undergraduates and potential researchers wanting to start working with D-branes ... ."
